I really donât believe Molly was capable of killing Bellatrix. Bella is a Dark Lord trained Death Eater who frequently is using dark spells. Molly has been a house-wife for most of her life. Surely in reality she wouldnât know those spells, let alone have ever used them before. Bella knows more and has been practising her skills (even through Azkaban), and yet Molly wins? I cant believe it.
(Taigaâs note: never, ever estimate the power of a mother protecting her children.)
I canât wait until some of you idiots have children. See what youâre capable of when your child is in danger. She wasnât just a house wife, she was a mother. Yâall moms should slap the ignorance out of you.
Molly was part of the Order in the first war. She lost her brothers to Death Eaters. She just lost her son, who was named in honour of one of those brothers. Her daughter, her only daughter, is threatened. You can damn well believe that her conviction was strong and she meant every spell she cast in defense of her family. Of course she knows those spells. Of course she wins.
^^^^ This.
Very early on in writing the series, I remember a female journalist saying to me that Mrs Weasley, âWell, you know, sheâs just a mother.â And I was absolutely incensed by that comment. Now, I consider myself to be a feminist, and Iâd always wanted to show that just because a woman has made a choice, a free choice to say, âWell, Iâm going to raise my family and thatâs going to be my choice. I may go back to a career, I may have a career part time, but thatâs my choice.â Doesnât mean that thatâs all she can do. And as we proved there in that little battle, Molly Weasley comes out and proves herself the equal of any warrior on that battlefield.
Molly was a warrior before she was a mother. Â Male soldiers become fathers all the time, I really donât see how this is a problem.
I havenât read the book in ages, but wasnât it demonstrated fairly often that Molly was a powerful witch? Did this person miss that because of the fact she used her powers in a domestic fashion?
âDid this person miss that because of the fact she used her powers in a domestic fashion?â
In a word: yes.
Also, supposing she was âjust a motherâ and all that mothering made her forget everything that happened in her life prior to her children being born
Her house
you know (to be a stereotypical as possible) the thing that she spends all her time and energy cleaning and taking care of
has been a central hub of the resistance against Voldemortâs resurgenceÂ
Unless sheâs walking around with her wand snapped in half and the bits of it stuck in her ears, sheâs probably heard about a killing curse or two
soyeahso and hedwig-dordt hit the nail on the head - Molly is hella powerful.  She casts silent spells all the time in her house.  She has the pots scrubbing themselves, the broom & dustpan working by themselves, and sheâs out in the yard yelling at Fred and George, or whatever.  Thatâs not frickin easy.
And I think thereâs still a lot of classism toward the Weasleys just kind of in general, even though the narrative of the books (& movies to a lesser extent) want us to question this (by showing the Malfoysâ classism as A Dick Move).  Not only were the Weasleys instrumental in the first war against Voldemort, but their children all kick ass too. Bill is an Auror, which we learn requires very high performance in class as well as incredible technical skill.  Charlie works with frickin dragons, nuff said.  Percy makes prefect (and head boy right? canât remember) and goes to work for the government.  At sixteen Fred and George are so proficient at charms that theyâre able to develop the entire line of Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes by themselves and they also manage the business.  Ron, while hindered by persistent self-esteem issues, also on several occasions casts silent spells, performs well athletically, and is a quick thinker and great strategist (book 1 chess game anyone?).  Ginny carries around Voldemortâs horcrux for nearly an entire school year and lives to tell the tale, and is basically Professor #2 for Dumbledoreâs Army.Â
If the Weasleys were rich, everyone would know them as the greatest wizarding family in Britain, but theyâre not, so instead itâs âred hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford.â
The story kicks off with the power of a motherâs love creating magic that is miraculous even by the Potterverseâs standards, and the fact that it was a MOTHERâS love that saved Harry is repeated over and over and over again.
The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to
the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because
they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were
supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an
argument that is.
Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is
superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional
art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact,
is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the
other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those
more.
Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move
all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas
pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are
gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or
Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that
other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.
2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
Atlantis (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)
Sinbad (2003)
5 centimeters per second (2007)
The princess and the frog (2009)
Children who lost their Voices (2011)
Beyond the boundary (2015)
Your name (2016)
So whoever dares to say 2d animation is dead is wrong and also a bitch
people who complain about dinosaurs “not being scary anymore” because its been discovered they have feathers and are closely related to/ancestors of birds are so bizarre like
its not about how scary they are, they are/were real life animals and what matters is learning more about them, not how well they fit into your science fiction horror film lol
can you imagine a 13 foot chicken running at you with full intent to eat you??? thats fucking terrifying holy shit
peacocks are synonymous with vain, frivolous beauty and they will attack cars. they will attack you while you try to get to your car. they’re like six feet of useless feathers and they will destroy you. imagine if they were carnivorous and had functional spurs.
a t-rex could look like a gay disco ball and i guarantee that you would fucking book it if it had a problem with you
listen
listen
have you ever met a swan
if anything the birdier they get the scarier they are
Australia literally fought a war against giant birds AND FUCKING LOST
“Oh man, I can’t deal with birds ‘cause they’re dinosaurs and sometimes it’s like they get this glint in their eyes and they remember.”
“Have you ever interacted with a goose? ‘Cause those things are dicks.”
If chickens were still the size of a T-Rex we’d all be dead. No question.
Feathered creatures that give some serious lie to the idea that feathered dinosaurs ain’t scary:
This is a bearded vulture, or lammergeier. It’s four feet long and has a nine foot wingspan and it eats bones.
This is a shoebill stork. It dropped the duck without biting down shortly after the picture was taken, but if it had decided not to-
… it could have been the end of the road for that duck.
This is the last thing a fish sees before a macaroni penguin eats it.
This is a secretary bird in the act of demonstrating to Lord Voldemort that he came to the wrong neighborhood, ese.
This is a goose.
This is a vulture.
This is a cassowary on the attack.
Be glad I couldn’t find the actual gif of a pelican swallowing a fish, because it’s freakin’ Lovecraftian in its HEADS SHOULD NOT BEND THAT WAY factor. You’ll have to settle for the idea of a feathered dinosaur suddenly going GLORP and devouring its victims whole just like this lady here.
Steven Spielberg didn’t create these. These are the feet of an emu.
And this is what happens when a swan (this one is named Asboy; his father was Mr. Asbo, the first swan in the UK to get named after an anti-social behavior order in ‘honor’ of his tendency to attack boaters) decides it doesn’t like you. I should probably note that this one attacked a cow.
Respect the feathered dinosaur, yo.
Terrifying. The last two illustrate why you did not fuck around with the Children of Lir.
I suspected that a dinosaur could have been feathered after I heard that a T-Rex is the chickens’ ancestor.
For those who think dinos aren’t cool because they’re feathered…whatever, mutherfuckers. Evolution doesn’t give two shits what you think is cool or not.
You showed a cassowary on the attack, but forgot to show what exactly it’s attacking with. Their feet are nearly identical to the Emu’s, except for one minor, teeny tiny detail: A five-inch claw for killing motherfuckers, raptor-style.
This is like the “fuck birds master post” and I love it because Honestly, Fuck. Birds.
